BG Undead begins next
week, requires
attendance at a rules
meeting this year
By Max Filby
Reporter

The coast looked clear when senior
Alex Haney walked out of the Union
with his blaster in hand.
But as Haney reached the
University shuttle stop behind the
Union, he was ambushed by six
zombies whom he managed to
stun before the bus arrived to drive
him home.
Haney is the treasurer for BG
Undead, a group that gathers on
campus twice a year for a game of
zombies verses humans. Today is
the last day students can sign up in
the Union in order to participate in
the game starting Thursday.
“Everyone has a crazy story about
how they died,” Haney said. “We’re
still talking about stories from freshman year.”
Humans and zombies are identified by different colored bandanas.

This month is Domestic Violence
Awareness Month, and students
are trying to bring awareness of
domestic violence to campus.
The Women’s Center hosted an
event Oct. 14 called the Silent
Witness Project. The Center,
along with the Organization for
Women’s Issues, will have the
annual Take Back the Night Event
and Speak-Out Friday.

“I was not aware
that it was Domestic
Violence Awareness
Month, which is sad.”

Take Back the Night and Speak-Out
will raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. The
rally starts Friday at 6 p.m. on the
University Hall lawn. The march

Women’s Center. She said the first
event of the year was the unveiling of
the Silent Witness Project, a memorial to girls and women whose lives
were ended abruptly and violently at
the hands of a husband, ex-husband,
partner or acquaintance. It features
life-size silhouettes of the victims.
“It is a national initiative that we’ve
localized,” Krueger said, “This project is specific to the Northwest Ohio
area, and it depicts 49 women who
were murdered in the last 10 years by
their husbands or boyfriends.”

A typical day for Sarah Waters,
director of Residence Life, consists
of balancing her professional and
family life.
Waters said her day begins by
being caught up to speed on any
student issues in the resident halls
or technical problems in the facilities. Then she talks to her staff in
Residence Life to make sure they
get the support they need. Finally,
Waters is in meetings for the rest
of the day.
“I’m in meetings most of the
day,” Waters said. “However, if
something big comes up, the
entire day changes.”
Waters said she is on duty
24/7 in case there are crises related to Residence Life.
Examples of crises are a facility
malfunction, waterline break
and a hospitalized student.
Safety of the community is
Waters’ biggest concern, she said.
“It’s a big issue to me, because we
want people to feel comfortable
here,” she said.

which is equally important, but I
think both of them need to be made

CAMPUS
BRIEF

Union vote results to be announced
today.
The State Employment Relations Board
will count University faculty members’
secret mail-in ballots today at 1 p.m. and
announce the vote results soon after.
The polling period was from Sept. 28
to Oct. 12, when ballots were secretly
mailed to more than 800 eligible fulltime faculty members, who then cast
their votes to the SERB.
A “yes” vote would allow both tenured
and non-tenure track members to immediately begin contract negotiations with the
University as a collective unit concerning
salaries, benefits and workload. A “no” vote
would yield no change.
All parties of the vote are invited to
attend and observe the counting of the ballots at SERB’s offices in Columbus.
After the counting, a Board agent will
furnish a tally of ballots to each of the
parties, according to the Consent Election
Agreement form signed by both parties’
representatives.
Post-election objections are possible,
according to SERB’s mail ballot election
procedures, and would be handled in accordance with Ohio Administrative Code Rule
4117-5-10(B).

UPPER DARBY, Pa. (AP) — A
Pennsylvania woman pulled out a
handgun and threatened a fellow
passenger during an argument
onboard a public bus, but a
third passenger is being hailed
as a hero for breaking up the
confrontation before it escalated
further, police said.
The altercation onboard the
Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority bus
in Upper Darby, just outside
Philadelphia, was captured on video.
The woman was arrested after
getting off the bus and a gun
was found in her purse, police
said. Cordelia Chisholm, 58, of
Yeadon, was being held on charges
of aggravated assault and other
counts. It could not immediately
be determined if Chisholm had an
attorney, and a telephone number
for her could not be located.

NEW YORK (AP) — A college
student charged with stabbing
a New York taxi driver in an antiMuslim attack has been freed on
$500,000 bail.
Michael Enright said nothing
as he left a courtroom Tuesday
surrounded by a half-dozen
relatives and supporters.
Prosecutors said he asked
driver Ahmed Sharif whether he
was Muslim and then told him
to “consider this a checkpoint”
before slashing him in the neck in
August. Sharif survived.
Enright has pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer said the film student
was beset by alcoholism and posttraumatic stress disorder from a
trip to Afghanistan.
His next court date is Dec. 8.

THORNWOOD, N.Y. — Four
Pace University football
players were arrested, and one
of them was stun-gunned, in
the chaos after police fatally
shot a teammate outside
a suburban New York bar,
officials said Tuesday.
One of the teammates broke
a storefront window, Mount
Pleasant Police Chief Louis
Alagno said. The other three
wouldn’t move away from
the shooting scene and were
interfering with medical aid,
Westchester County police
spokesman Kieran O’Leary said.
The arrests followed the
killing of Danroy Henry, 20, of
Easton, Mass., by officers who
fired through the windshield of
his Nissan Altima after police
were called to a disturbance
that spilled out of Finnegan’s
Grill in Thornwood, 27 miles
north of New York City and 1

LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Foodies in Southern California
will soon find out whether the
trucks where they grab a quick
lunch to go are as clean as their
brick-and-mortar counterparts.
The Los Angeles County
supervisors voted unanimously
Tuesday to require the posting
of health board ratings on
thousands of food trucks. The
ordinance will take effect in
30 days.
This means county health
inspectors will have the authority
to conduct surprise visits to the
trucks twice a year and give
them A, B or C ratings, the same
as they do with restaurants.
The grades must be posted
prominently on the vehicles.
Food truck operators have
said they look forward to the
rules, believing they will give
people more confidence in the
cleanliness of their operations.

DALLAS — A Jordanian man
caught in an FBI sting trying to
blow up a Dallas skyscraper was
sentenced Tuesday to 24 years in
prison after telling the court he
was ashamed of his actions and
renouncing al-Qaida.
Hosam Smadi, 20, faced up
to life in prison but received a
reduced sentence after pleading
guilty in May to attempted use
of a weapon of mass destruction.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn
could have sentenced him to a
maximum of 30 years under the
plea agreement.
Just before being sentenced,
Smadi addressed the court.
“I’m so ashamed for what I did.
I’m very sorry for my actions,”
Smadi told Lynn just before he
was sentenced. “I could not live
with myself if I had hurt anybody.”
Smadi also renounced
al-Qaida and called its leader,
Osama bin Laden, “a bad man.”

ATLANTA — The Justice
Department reached a
settlement Tuesday with
the state of Georgia in a
long-running case targeting what critics call the
unlawful segregation of
residents with mental illness and developmental
disabilities in state-run
psychiatric hospitals.
In a compromise that
officials said could affect
other states, Georgia
agreed to stop admitting
people with developmental
disabilities to state hospitals by July 2011 and transfer all those already in the
hospitals to community
settings by July 2015. The
state also agreed to offer a
range of services to 9,000
people with serious mental illnesses so they can be
served in community settings instead of hospitals.

BAGHDAD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The chief U.N.
envoy to Iraq escaped unharmed
from a bombing that hit his convoy
Tuesday after a meeting with the
nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Shiite cleric about
how to unsnarl Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stalemated
government. The U.N. said a
member of the Iraqi security forces
was killed and several others were
injured in the attack.
Officials have long worried
that the political impasse that has
gripped Iraq for more than seven
months may lead to violence,
and the attack on U.N. Special
Representative Ad Melkert
underscored those fears.
The U.N. pulled out of Iraq after
a 2003 bombing of its Baghdad
headquarters killed then-envoy
Sergio Vieira de Mello and 21
employees and a series of other
attacks against aid workers. But the
world body returned in 2004 and
has stepped up its presence over
the years as violence ebbs and the
U.S. military begins to leave Iraq.
U.N. spokeswoman Randa Jamal
said Melkert had finished meeting
with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani
and was leaving the Shiite holy
city of Najaf when his convoy hit
a roadside bomb. Nobody in the
delegation was injured and Melkert
was safely back in Baghdad by
Tuesday evening, Jamal said.

KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A U.S.
soldier was taken into custody
after an Afghan detainee was
found dead in his cell, apparently
from a gunshot wound, NATO
said in a statement Tuesday night.
The man was found dead
in his holding cell in Kandahar
provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arghandab district
on Sunday. He was being
held temporarily at an Afghan
government facility under U.S.
guard, awaiting transfer to
coalition custody.
The U.S. has launched a
criminal investigation into the
death, NATO said. Rear Adm.
Greg Smith said the U.S. takes
seriously any allegations of
mistreatment of prisoners.
Also in southern Afghanistan,
militant attacks killed three
NATO service members on
Tuesday, the international
coalition said.
NATO did not give the
nationality of the dead service
members or provide exact
locations of the attacks. One was
killed in an insurgent attack and
two others by roadside bombs.

SANTIAGO, Chile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A
Chilean legislative commission
is investigating reports that
mining operators ignored danger
warnings from a man who was
later among 33 later trapped
when a mine collapsed.
Deputy Carlos Vilches, a
commission member, said
Tuesday that miner Juan Illanes
has alleged that operators
refused his request to leave
the mine three hours before
it collapsed on Aug. 5. Illanes
reportedly had heard loud
sounds that indicated a collapse
could be brewing.
Vilches spoke at the
opening of a public exhibit
of the capsule used in last
weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescue of the miners
after 69 days underground, an
achievement that served as a
rallying point of national pride.
The exhibit in the plaza outside
Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential palace is
drawing hundreds of people.
Vilches represents Copiapo,
the community closest to the
San Jose Mine where the collapse
occurred. He said he would call
Illanes and other miners to testify
before the commission about
conditions at the mine.

VIENNA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tens of
thousands of students marched
through Austrian cities Tuesday
to demand more money
for higher education in an
unexpectedly large protest
backed by university staff.
Police estimates for the largest
turnout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Vienna â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were
around 15,000 people, mostly
students but also academic staff
and other supporters. Roughly
5,000 others took to the streets
in Salzburg and Graz.
Amid the protests, university
presidents warned of large-scale
layoffs and even the closure of
some institutions barring more
money from the government
by 2013.
Most Austrian universities
are state-run and chronic
underfunding has resulted in lack
of staff and facilities.
Lecture halls are crammed
with hundreds of students
in some of the most popular
courses and there often are long
lists for exams, which have to be
staggered due to overcrowding
and too few faculty.

clerics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; demanding loyalty to
the Islamic state and an end to
defiance that has blurred onceclear lines of power since last
yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disputed elections.
The planned 10 days of
speeches and meetings by
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei in the seminary city
of Qom underscore the concerns
among Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theocrats that
their control is under threat by
dissent from clerics and the rising
influence of security forces after
the worst unrest since the 1979
Islamic Revolution.
Khamenei, who has the
final say on all state matters
in Iran, supported President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after
his disputed election victory
in June 2009 and dismissed
claims of widespread vote fraud.
But many senior clerics in Qom
didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t side with Ahmadinejad
and have increasingly adopted
a critical language against the
government.

JERUSALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Israeli
military is banning soldiers from
using social media sites while on
base in an attempt to prevent
security leaks and embarrassing
videos from going viral.
Lt. Col. Gadi Abudi said Tuesday
that the idea was to prevent
sensitive information from reaching
its â&#x20AC;&#x153;enemiesâ&#x20AC;? via Facebook, Twitter
and other popular sites.
Abudi said the ban applies only
when troops are on base â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where
their online habits could put military
computers at risk. Mobile phone use
will also be restricted.
Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military has suffered a
series of online embarrassments.
Soldiers have posted pictures on
Facebook of themselves mistreating
detained Palestinians and dancing
on patrol. In one case, the military
had to cancel an operation after

Since I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about each
tip without exceeding the
word limit set for columns, I
will pick out a few that I feel
are the most beneficial.
First, when approaching a
potential date, do not try too
hard to impress them. Trust
me, they will think you are
an idiot and the potential
date and their friends will
laugh about you when you
walk away taking your everso-embarrassing â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk of
shameâ&#x20AC;? back to the other side
of the bar where your buddies
are over there waiting for you
in hysterical laughter.
Second, make sure you
have confident body language. The potential date
you are trying to get wants
to see that you are confident
and comfortable with yourself. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overly confident and act like a moron,
but keep it very relaxed and
pleasant for the both of you.
Many people find self-confidence attractive.
Thirdly, try and find out
quickly what there interests
are and begin to talk about

them and get the conversation moving from both ends.
There is nothing worse than
being approached by someone and all that they talk
about is what they like. Excuse
me? Over here! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take on a date,
stop talking all about yourself.
Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really boring me.
Lastly, you should know
when to stop a conversation. Even if its going fantastic, unless you have what
it takes to take it to the next
level right on the spot, take
a step back. You have more
cha nce of potentially getting a date by just taking
it easy rather than being
overbearing and creepy.
Breaking the ice and getting
that first date can be hard;
we all have been through it.
Just remember to keep it cool,
be yourself and keep some of
these tips in my mind, and I
am sure you will begin to see
better results.

It turns out that women truly
do like manly men, at least
every once in a while.
A new study found that
women with partners who
have less masculine features
are more prone to wander
their eyes in search of the
extra scruffy-types during
the fertile phase of their cycle.
The study, which is reported
in the November issue of
the journal Evolution and
Human Behavior, applies
to heterosexual women and
their ratings for short-term
partners. Lifelong mates can
relax a little.
Levels of attractiveness
fall directly into the hands of
science. The closer a woman
gets to ovulation, the deeper
she desires a strong jaw, chin
and brow. Co-author of the
study and University of New
Mexico evolutionary psychologist Steven Gangestatd
noted that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we found
was â&#x20AC;Ś women who are with
less facially masculine men
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so more feminine men
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones showing a
shift toward men other than
their partner.â&#x20AC;? For example,
during ovulation, it was
more probable for women to
have sexual fantasies about a
non-partner.
Though it is strange that
the level of desire women
feel toward macho men peak
only for a few days since these
random hook-ups are more
or less irrelevant to child
bearing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that biology is not psychic enough to
distinguish between a fling
and a commitment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;(when

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Levels of

hands of science.â&#x20AC;?
women) rate menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexiness,
in a sense, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when they
show the shift (but) if they
rate menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractiveness as a
long-term partner, then they
donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show it,â&#x20AC;? Gangestatd
said. Therefore it seems that,
for the most part, woman are
looking for intimacy in the
long run but are driven by
lust during their fertile days.
As a result, this time in
the cycle makes it easier
for women to succumb to
natural instinct.
Yet, not all women are
looking to reproduce, so
how does biology work
around the premise that
attractiveness and desire
are essentially related to
fertility and reproduction? Psychologist Martie
Haselton said that even
though this lustful boost is
found in most women, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
usually â&#x20AC;&#x153;gone after a matter of days, and the relationship goes on as it was
before.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, biology
is important, but not concluding. Couples can easily have reproduction in
mind or not.
The significance of the
female mid-cycle explosion of desire is not clear.
However, it is pretty
important to note the
effects of biology and how
half of the time we are
far from conscious of the
forces that drive us, especially in the realm of lustbased physical attraction.

Leader of the squad

Men’s hoops gears up for last
season at Anderson Arena
Dee
Brown

Sports Editor

FORESIGHT: BG wing Rocco Mauer looks to run up the field in a match earlier this season.

One of BG’s most touted and visible
star athletes can’t be seen competing in Doyt Perry Stadium or in
Anderson Arena.
In fact, he doesn’t even play for a
Varsity sport on campus.
BG All-American wing Rocco
Mauer has been recognized nationally as one of the best rugby players
in the country.
Last month, Mauer was chosen to
try out for the National Sevens team.
After a successful first weekend,
Mauer met with the national coach
who informed him that he had made
it to the second round of tryouts.
Later this month Mauer will travel
with a select few of players to compete in a tournament in Singapore.
If all goes well, he has the chance
to play in the first two World Series
tournaments in Dubai, the United
Arab Emirates, and South Africa.
Not only has Mauer been selected to
try out for the team, but he also won
the Rugby H2H online competition.
In August, a new contest began
that pit 16 All-American rugby players against one another in a headto-head online tournament, called
Rugby H2H.
Mauer stormed the field, dominating nearly every round on route
to winning the contest. He took an

overwhelming majority of the votes,
racking up 1,418 total votes – 868
votes more than Mike Shepherd,
the second leading vote getter.
Despite the great honor of winning the competition, Mauer is as
humble as ever and recognizes that
he wouldn’t have been able to do it
without the help of the fans.
“It is a great honor winning Rugby
H2H, because it shows me that out
of all of the universities and the
players that were represented that
we at BG have the best fan base, following, and are supported in everything we do,” Mauer said. “To be
voted No. 1 is special, but to know
you have so many people behind
you and supporting you makes it
even more meaningful.”
The honors are not for nothing.
Director of Rugby Roger Mazzarella
has high praise for his star wing.
“Rocco Mauer is so elusive that
you could lock him and a defender
in a telephone booth and Rocco
would still manage to elude him,”
Mazzarella said.
Last week, things took a turn for
the worse for the wing, and the club
as a whole.
Mauer found himself on the
sideline when he dislocated
his shoulder within the first 15
minutes of the match against
Notre Dame.
The Irish took advantage of the sit-

“He is so elusive that
you could lock him
and a defender in
a telephone booth
and Rocco would still
manage to elude him.”

It’s almost that time of year again.
In just a few weeks the BG men’s
basketball team will lace up the
high tops and begin not only a new
season of Falcon hoops, but the
last season of basketball played in
Anderson Arena.
At the end of this season the
Falcons will end a chapter and open
a new one as they will be calling the
Stroh Center home next season.
While excitement for a new arena
is in the midst, there is still work to
be done this season.
And the goals for this season are
no exception.
“The goals are the same…regular
season Mid-American Conference
championship, MAC championship
and go to the NCAA tournament,”
senior Joe Jakubowski said. “We
fizzled out at the end of the year
last year and hopefully we can learn
from that. It’s not how you start but
how you finish.”
BG lost its last three regular season
games last year and was one-anddone in the MAC Tournament with a
75-73 loss to Western Michigan.
The biggest challenge facing the
Falcons this season is their youth.
Of the 14 players on the roster,
eight of them are either freshmen
or sophomores.
BG also has to deal with the losses
of its three bigs – Marc Larson, Erik
Marschall and Otis Polk – guys who
played a crucial role in the frontcourt
and guys who in their Falcon careers,

combined to play 346 games.
Despite lacking up front, coach
Louis Orr said this year’s team is the
most athletic he has ever coached
at BG.
“I think we have more quickness
and I think we have more versatility
from top to bottom, [but] we’re just
young,” Orr said. “We have talent; it’s
just a matter of maturity.”
If Orr had a choice, however, of
having an experienced front court
or backcourt, he said having it in the
backcourt is the best thing.
And the Falcons have exactly that.
Along with Jakubowski, BG’s backcourt will feature juniors Dee Brown
and Scott Thomas – two guys who
excelled on the court a year ago.
Brown played in 30 games last season, making 29 starts as he ranked
second on the team in scoring with
10.6 points per game and led the
team in three-point shooting at 42.7

uation, defeating the Falcons 33-32.
His injury was a big reason the
club lost their first match of the
season. The Falcons were unable
to utilize the speed of their backs
because along with Mauer, many of
the clubs’ backs were also injured
in the game.
As of now, it is unknown how much
time the All-American wing will miss.
According to Mauer, he will miss the
nexttwomatches,andthereisachance
he could miss playoffs, depending on
the severity of the injury.
While the Falcons are still a premier team without Mauer on the
pitch, they will no doubt miss his
speed and tenacity on the pitch.
The banged up Falcons return
to BG this Saturday as they prepare for another College Premier
League foe, Ohio State. The match
is slated for 1 p.m. at the College
Park Rugby Field.

recently in the mailroom at
the University of Maine at
Farmington. Mailroom employee
Andrea Butterfield says the
postcard was in mint condition
and the ink wasn’t faded. It had a
1 cent stamp on it.
The Sun Journal of Lewiston
said there’s no explanation about
where the card has been.
On Monday 83-year-old Ruth
Webber McGary, received the
card. She said she worked with
the Charlie who sent the card,
but doesn’t remember why it
was sent.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)
— Authorities have arrested a
man who they believe robbed the
same South Bend bank branch
four times since late August.
Federal prosecutors allege that 42year-old William Easley robbed
the 1st Source Bank on Aug. 23,
Sept. 10, Oct. 5 and Wednesday,
taking about $14,000 in all.
The South Bend Tribune
reported Easley surrendered at
the St. Joseph County Jail early
Saturday. A federal magistrate on
Monday ordered him jailed until a
preliminary hearing Thursday.
Authorities said that in each
robbery the man entered the
bank on the city’s east side,
brandishing what appeared to be
a handgun. The robber wore a
bandanna over his face, but tellers
believed it was the same person.
A message seeking
comment was left for Easley’s
defense attorney.

Restaurant rooster
advertisement at
odds with law

NY restaurateur’s
sentence: Deliver
pizza to poor

HATCH, N.M. (AP) — First
it was a huge fiberglass pig.
Now, it’s a giant rooster that has
the owners of a New Mexico
restaurant at odds with the law.
State officials informed Teako
and Josie Nunn that the rooster
sitting 12 feet above the ground
atop a 1964 Chevrolet and “soft
served ice cream” banner on
the side constitute off-premises
advertising on wheels, which
isn’t allowed.
They own Sparky’s
Burgers, BBQ and Espresso
in downtown Hatch and have
created T-shirts with the slogan
“Save the Rooster,” similar
to what they did 10 months
ago when the fate of a huge
fiberglass pig was uncertain.
That dispute ended in
February, when officials
allowed the pig to be an offpremises billboard.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A
Buffalo, N.Y., restaurateur will
be feeding pizza to the poor as
punishment for cheating the
state out of sales tax.
Casa-Di-Pizza owner Joseph
Jacobbi could have been sent to
prison after pleading guilty to
third-degree grand larceny. But
The Buffalo News reports a state
Supreme Court judge thought
the city would be better served if
Jacobbi fed its neediest.
He sentenced Jacobbi to
deliver 12 sheet pizzas from his
popular restaurant to the City
Mission once a week for a year.
The 57-year-old Jacobbi
has repaid about half of the
$104,000 in sales tax authorities
say he withheld from New York
over the course of four years. He
must make monthly payments to
cover the rest.

Mass. cleanup
crew finds bag full
of pot in river

RI cops: Robber
had checklist of
targets in pocket

METHUEN, Mass. (AP)
— Rocky Morrison thought he’d
seen everything in his six years
of pulling trash from the rivers of
northeast Massachusetts.
That was until Sunday,
when he grabbed a plastic
bag of marijuana floating
in the Shawsheen River in
Lawrence. Morrison calls the
discovery “unusual.”
Morrison, of Salem, N.H.,
helps run the nonprofit Clean
River Project. He and his coworkers alerted police.
Lawrence police Chief John
Romero tells The Eagle-Tribune
that some of the pot had been
packaged for street sale, and
some was still in plant form. He
estimated it weighed two pounds
had a street value of $2,000.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Police
in Rhode Island trying to stop a
string of robberies got a big break
when they found a key piece of
evidence — an alleged robber’s
checklist of targets.
Jimmy Honeycutt and his
girlfriend Stephanie McDole
were arrested Wednesday after
Pawtucket police found torn pages
from a phone book in Honeycutt’s
pocket. Asterisks were marked next
to some of the businesses that
were robbed this month.
Detectives pulled over the pair
because their car matched the
description of a vehicle wanted in
connection with a robbery at an
Attleboro Getty gas station.
Twenty-six-year-old Honeycutt
is charged with five counts of
first-degree robbery. Twenty-sevenyear-old McDole is charged with
two counts of first-degree robbery.
